Hey Enrico,
Do you use watercolours in tube sometimes? I tried it for the first time few weeks ago at the life drawing course, and thought it was great to mix the colours together, and be more spontaneous; especially when working on bigger scale. I like the pans when I’m sketching outdoors, very convenient.
Do you carry this big bow around when you sketch outside?

I don’t know if you’ve run into these or not, but when I was in Kyoto 6 years ago, I found a little art store on the main drag in Gion (before the bridge) that had this lovely set of tiny little sumi-cakes in a nice wooden box by Holbein. I picked it up and I love the little dears to death, but alas hasven’t had any luck finding them here in the states or on-line. If you get a chance to check them out, I highly reccomend them. They are more or less like gouache in that you can use them equally well opaqely and transparently.

You might try ordering from outside the US here:

That Winsor Newton Pocket set is about $20.00 cheaper if you order at Ken Bromleys, any ways I ordered all my wc stuff from them and have never had any problems.
Oh, and they have a set of all three Pentel Aquabrushes for $11.00!!
Keep on Sketchin’
